I am honest about too much stuff.
I also underestimated curiosity.
I use my blog as a part journal...part sounding board and for the 200-ish people who read this....I do think of you guys as friends, in the large sense of the word. I appreciate comments, even if they are a difference of opinion (rude attacks withstanding).
Of course you guys would want to see what I am talking about. I just really didn't think that anyone would bother to go looking. I can honestly say I love to read your blogs....but I don't go looking for you in real life.
I have had people reach out that went looking and found out names, addresses, etc. I never thought that I was so stealthy that people couldn't find it...I just figured that it couldn't be that interesting that people would bother.
So...I think until after the move...I am taking a break. Not that people can't still go looking....but I don't need to fuel the fire either. I am not going to take it down right now....but I am not going to actively post. I may change my mind down the road...but right now i will leave it. I will still be reachable by email for those of you who want to say hi.
For those who have found my house....thank you for telling me and for the positive feedback. I hope you don't post this information publicly....but I can't do anything about it if you do. I am just kindly asking that you don't.
I am not mad that people went looking....In hindsight, it is sort of expected. I am just deciding that my personal and on line lives have intersected too much.
I imagine that would be scary. Don't stay away too long! :)
ReplyDeleteI was sad to read this, Mysti. I'll miss hearing about what's going on with your life & the move, but I understand the desire to lay low.
ReplyDeleteI hope your house sells quickly and you are able to move as a family.
Mysti I feel the same way. I did not go looking although I love you and I am curious. You can Google me an 100 references will come up becasue of the long career in performance arts but I don't really want people to find me. Someday though I plan on going on a road trip back east and looking up all my buddies and I will find you:) But I will try to call or contact you first. Please have a pillow with a chocolate waiting for me.
ReplyDeleteTake care and good luck with the move.
ReplyDeleteSorry that you had to deal with things like that. I hope you much luck and happiness and fortune with your move! Take care.
ReplyDeleteGoing to miss readying your blog, hope the move goes well, take care and be safe.
ReplyDeleteWow, I would not have a clue how to find you (maybe because I forget details 10 minutes after reading them :) ... I wish you wouldn't quit blogging - I was looking forward to hearing about the move and your house hunt. But I understand. I guess we're never truly anonymous in cyberspace. Good luck with everything and do check in once in awhile and let us know how you're doing!
ReplyDeleteWOOOWWW!!! I can't believe people would be so creepy/disrespectful as to search you out like that. You don't use real names, exact locations, photos of yourself for a reason and people should have respected that. IF you wanted our opinions I am positive you would have asked us outright and linked the info yourself. I do hope all goes smoothly and everything falls in to place quickly.
ReplyDeleteWow - some people apparently really need to get a life! Sorry you are having to deal with that and look forward to soon hearing you are all moved into your new place/life and ready to blog again!
ReplyDeletewow! I asked knowing you wouldn't share :) I know you live in CN but that's about it lol
ReplyDeleteHS
Eeps!! As a self-proclaimed Google Addict, I'm actually impressed some people found the house. But as a blogger, yeah I see why that's freaky. That being said I hope you don't go because that would make me so sad. Anyhow, I hope things are going well for you guys and you have had interest. I am dying to know!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will let us know when the house sells. I have always been freaked out when people put their kids names, pictures, school names, etc. I watched an Oprah once years ago where a police officer showed how easy it was to pin point a school just by asking simple questions that do not raise suspicion. It was freaky to say the least. I can't blame you for feeling alarmed.
ReplyDeleteThat's disrespectful & downright creepy. Seriously, who has the time/desire to Google search people's private lives? I'm sorry that happened. Will miss reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that I miss not reading your blog. I completely understand that being cyber stalked is a little creepy. Hope you are doing ok and that the move is going smoothly.
ReplyDeleteHey Mysti, any updates? I hope your house has sold and you are on to greener pastures :)
ReplyDeleteNot sold...big mess.
DeleteSorry to hear that. Hopefully things will be better soon. Take care :)
DeleteReally miss reading your blog! Hopefully everything is going okay.
